Hey all, looking to HOPEFULLY get some help as to why im having issues with my PS2 emulation. As far as I have read, my system SHOULD be capable of emulation PS2, if however, I am mistaking, please take a look at my system specs, and tell me TS

Im really new to this site. I have been using emulators for a time now, but only recently wanted to get into PS2 emulation. Which includes these systems:

The reason I am asking, is I would like to play Kingdom Hearts, but the framerate drop goes from 60-40-50-60 and it just constantly fluctuates. Making gameplay..... not gameplay. I have attempted multiple times to correct it and prevent it from occuring.

So, I have included what information I could, to the best of my current ability. If I miss anything, or you see something that just screams, YOU CANT EMULATE PS2, please, let me know, and the reason. If possible, a solution would be great if there is one.

CPU-z - Processor Information
- A note on this, it states that it has SSE3 capabilites, this however is a big lie. Its actually SSSE3.

CPU-z - MotherBoard information

GPU-z - Video Card information

PCSX2 - Settings with GSdx9

Again, if I missed any information that might help diagnose why I suffer from the severe framerate drop, let me know, I will do what I can to get it.

Thanks ahead of time for any and all that attempt to help me with this issue.

*Sidenote* I am able to overclock my videocard decently, I however kept it at stock for the duration of the screenshots. Overclocking HELPS with the issue, but it does not remove it, even when I max OC.

Your CPU can emulate the ps2, though it's really far too slow to run most games.

Here's a list of games that are easy to emulate. You really will need to get a new pc if you plan on emulating anything other than what's on that list. Even a lot of the games on that list won't run at full speed either.

I was afraid of that answer. Thanks for the quick reply. I shall undergo the painful process of a system overhaul

I would still recommend an upgrade in this case, as that cpu is about 7 years old
